A Temporary Fix - Sealed

At the conclusion of Session 53 - The Tip of the Taint, the party opted to seal off the cave entrance to prevent further contamination from the corrupted well. Through a dialogue with the spirit of the earth, the main cave path was closed. While this solution is not permanent, reopening it would require significant excavation efforts.

A Bard's Obsession

In the cave that houses the entrance to this enigmatic dungeon, the skeleton of a bard or magician was discovered. It seems this individual was singularly focused on locating the Seat of Marrow, a quest that ultimately claimed his life. Among the artifacts found with his remains were a parchment map pinpointing this elusive site, a peculiar key crafted from black glass and mountain stone, and a parchment bearing a cryptic limerick or poem. These items collectively hint at the perilous nature of what lies within.
